Operating principle & technology
Cryotherapy uses targeted cold applications to inhibit inflammation, relieve pain and regulate blood circulation. The targeted use of cold reduces metabolic activity in the treated tissues, which slows down inflammatory processes. At the same time, the short-term cooling ensures a reflexive increase in blood circulation after the application, which supports the regeneration of the tissue. Cryotherapy is often used in sports medicine, pain therapy and rehabilitation to reduce swelling, relieve muscle tension and accelerate healing processes.
